MR.. HOWEllS AS A BOY.


From His Autobiography Chapter in the
Youths Companion.
We sat up late before the biz fire at
night. our faces burning in the glow. and
our backs and feet freezing in the draft
that swept in from the imperfectly clos
ing door. and then we boys climbed to
our bed in the loft. We reached it bv Il
ladder, which we should have been glad to
pull up after Us. Il protection against the
Indians in the pioneer fashion: but with
the advancement of modern luxury. the
ladder had been nailed to the floor. Once
aloft. however. we were in domain
sacred to the past The rude floor rat
tied and wavered loosely under our tread
and the window in the gable stood open
or shut at its own will. There We're
cracks in the shingles, through which we
could see the stars, and which. when the
first snow came. let the flakes sft in up
on the floor. should not like to step
out of bed into II snow wreath in the
morning now; but then was glad to do
it, and, so far from thinking that or any
thing in our life a hardship, counted it
all joy.
Our barrels of paper-covered books
were slowed away in that loft. and, over
hauling them one day. | found paper
copy of the poems of certain Henry w.
Longfelow. then wholly unknown to me {:
and while the old grist-mil. whisting
and Wheeling to itself. made vague
music in my ears, my soul was filled with
this new. strange sweetness. read the
"Spanish Student" there, and the "Coplas
de Manrique." and the solemn and
ever-beautiful 'Noices of the Night"
There were other books in those
barrels which must have read also.
but remember only these, that spirit
ed me again to Spain. where | had
already been with Irving, and led me
to attack seriously the old Spanish gram
mar which had been knocking about our
house ever since my father bought it
from Il soldier of the Mexican war. But
neither these nor any other books made
me discontinued with the Small-boy's
world about me. They made it little
more populous with visionary shapes,
but that was well, and there was room
for them all. 1t was not darkened with
cares and the duties in it were not many.
We had book in those days called
western Adventure" which was made
up of tales of pioneer and frontier life,
and we were constantly reading ourselves
back into that life. have wondered
often since who wrote or compiled that
book; we had printed it ourselves
in d., from the stereotype plates of
some temporary publisher, whose name
is quite lost to me. This book, and
"IIowe's Collections for the History
of Ohio" were full of stories of
the backwoodsmen and warriors who
had made our State IA battle-ground for
nearly 80 years, and our own life in the
log cabin gave new zest to the tales of
Simon kenton, the pioneer, and Simon
Girty, the renegade; of the captivity of
Crawford and his death at the stake of
the massacre of the Moravian Indians at
Guadenhutten; or of the defeat of st.
Clair and the victory of Wayne; of a
hundred other wild and bloody incidents
of our annals. We read of them at night
till we were afraid to go up the ladder to

} The TIMES extends its congratulations
1 PAsCOE-BAKER-O the l7th inst. at the resi-
dcuce -of the brides sister in-law, MIS-. Jane
/ Pa>coe, by the Rev. f. H. Wright, Miss Jennie
FaSege Of superior and MIR Milo J. Baker OF
London. Ontario
The happy event recorded above
was a surprise to all parties. We had
our opinions Of the demure young lady
and can now say Il told you So We
extend our heartiest congratulations to
Mr. and Mrs. Baker aud wish them
long life and happiness.
The bride was much esteemed by
her many friends in the city, and
many were the regrets expressed in
losing her from our social circles. The
only thought that comforts US, is that
what is loss to us is gain TO Mr.. Baker,
and the fact that he undertook such a
long journey to claim her for his own
speaks volumes in the young lad 5
favor.
Mrs. Baker was a member Of the
Methodist Church and a highly re-
spccted teacher in the Sabbath School.
Her fellow teachers and friends made
the event the occasion Of presenting her
with very pretty eight-day clock in
cherry wood case, slight token of
their esteem. The presentation was
made by the Supt. Mr., ;. f. Tubbs,
who in Il lively speech referred to the
good work done by the lady. He
said he had been requested to purchase
something more useful than ornament
al. He thought he had succeeded in
getting both. Time was the all impor-
tant thing iii this life, and it was very
necessary to keep good time. Nothing
would ruttte husbands spirits more
than having dinner late, and 50 he
had procured a good me-keeper,
which struck every half-hour to give
warning Of the fast lapse Of time. An
other reason he assigned ior selecting
the clock was that il was in a cherry
wood ease. Miss Pascoe-or rather
Mrs. Baker-wou!i remember the
story about the great father Of this
country, and the cherry tree, and
when she looked IT the clock it would
help her to remember the experiences
Of her sojouru on United States ST,
and would keep little love burnii 9
in her heart for the stars ana stripes
when she was Lying under the old I'M
ion Jack Of England Mr. Tubbs was
exceedingly happy in his style and the
effect Of his address was pleasing to all
who heard it. ReY. T. II. Wright
the pastor followed with a few remarks
closing his address by quoting some
appropriate lines from a poem he had
learned at school sixteen or seventeen
wears ago. They were suggested by
Ng. TuaJ's remarks regarding that al
absorbing question Of Time. The fol-
lowing are a few Of the verses recited.
